KINGSTON, Jamaica -- Usain Bolt is now a movie star. He refuses to say hes an actor.Such a distinction is important for the Jamaican sprinting great and nine-time Olympic champion. Until his competitive career ends next year, Bolt will continue playing only one role -- that of the worlds fastest man, someone who beat the odds to acquire immense fame and fortune on his way to becoming one of the biggest stars in global sport.As such, its not a made-for-Hollywood version of himself that takes center stage in the documentary I Am Bolt, which was released Monday. As the title wants viewers to believe, the Bolt who is in the film is the very same one that his friends, family and other members of his close-knit inner sanctum have seen for as long as theyve known him.I wasnt an actor, Bolt said. I wasnt trying to push a different person forward.This is Bolt, a behind-the-scenes view of the superstar that took about two years to make and has him holding the camera at times. The idea in large part surrounds Bolts quest for the so-called triple-triple -- three gold medals in three events at three consecutive Olympics, something no sprinter in the history of the sport had ever accomplished.He pulled it off, to little surprise, at the Rio Games.And then he could finally exhale, knowing this film would have the perfect ending.Oh my God, you have no idea the pressure that I was under, Bolt said in a recent interview with The Associated Press, as the production was winding down. But I live for these moments. I love the pressure. And I have all the confidence in myself and my coach and the team I have that it would come true for me. The pressure was there, but the confidence was always there -- which made it much easier.Bolt agreed to make this film after realizing that he would be able to convince both his fans and his detractors that what they see on the track -- a free-spirited showman who tries to be stoic and serious only when absolutely necessary -- is what they would get if they tagged along with him on a typical day.He shows off some of the spoils of his life, whether its the party scene or traveling or enjoying luxury. He also shows how all that is possible, with 5:30 a.m. workouts that he groaned through and the rigors of whats needed to keep an elite athlete in top physical condition.I live a simple life, you know what I mean? Bolt said. One of the things that made me really want to do this was people always saying: Aw, this is not really who he is. Hes not always laughing. Its not always fun for him. This is who I am. I really wanted to show people this is who I am. I like to have fun. I like to chill. I like to go out. Thats just a part of me. The part that people dont see, thats the part I want to show people behind the scenes, the hard work.There are also some moments where that megawatt smile isnt present. Yes, even Usain Bolt can have a tough day.You have to ask yourself, why am I doing this? Ive done everything. Ive done it many times, Bolt said. I have nothing else to prove.Not now, he doesnt.The triple-triple was the capper to a storied Olympic career. Hes the world-record-holder in the 100- and 200-meter dashes, and anchored the fastest 4x100-meter relay in world history as well. But without those three golds from Rio de Janeiro, Bolt would have felt somewhat unfulfilled.I wanted to be one of the greatest, Bolt said. I wanted to be among the greats. Without this Olympics, I would be great, yes. But I dont think I would be in the bracket of Muhammad Ali, Pele and the great footballers. Thats what I want.Bolts plan is for the world championships next year in London to be his final meet.From there, who knows.Hes already well set-up as a businessman, with endorsement deals around the globe and other investments -- such as a restaurant not far from Jamaicas National Stadium in Kingston, an eatery where a two-lane track is stenciled on the floor around the bar. Hell consider dabbling with other sports, and he has a clear desire to play soccer. He might coach. He will not be a politician.And hes already been approached about acting. For the record, Bolt says the actor who could play him best is Denzel Washington, and he counts 2 Guns as one of his favorite movies.People always say it was Training Day, Bolt said. But I loved 2 Guns because it was different.He wanted this movie to be different as well.I tried to talk about what Im feeling, what Im thinking, Bolt said. Thats what I really try to portray. I never try to be unoriginal.Chris Tierney Senators Jersey . All of the scoring came in the final 20:04. Lucic scored on a power play at 15:46 of the third period, when he tipped a shot over Stars goalie Kari Lehtonen for a 3-1 lead. Dylan DeMelo Senators Jersey . -- Edmontons Val Sweeting is two wins away from a trip to Winnipeg to play in Canadas Road of the Rings in December. http://www.senatorssale.com/authentic-christian-jaros-senators-jersey/ .

Cote helped running back Jon Cornish run for a league-high 1,813 rushing yards en route to being named the leagues most outstanding player.No. 7 Gonzaga will look to equal its best start in school history, a 12-0 record in 1944, when the Bulldogs host South Dakota on Wednesday night.The 11-0 start for Mark Fews team is already the best since the program joined the NCAA for the 1958-59 season, topping the 9-0 mark of 2012-13.Tennessee coach Rick Barnes, whose team lost to Gonzaga 86-76 in Nashville, Tenn., on Sunday said the Bulldogs have a shot at running the table in the regular season.I think hes got as good a team as hes ever had, Barnes said of Few. I think hes going to become an even bigger story in college basketball because if you look ahead, hes always done tremendous things with his team in the league and he could be the first time in a long time that youve got a team capable of being undefeated heading into postseason play.No. 19 Saint Marys and traditionally tough opponent BYU in the West Coast Conference might have a say in that, but for now, Few is concentrating on ending the nonconference portion of the schedule feeling good about his team.Entering the Tennessee game on Sunday, Gonzaga hadnt played since beating Akron Dec. 10. The Bulldogs but looked strong as they scored the first eight points and never trailed. They led 27-6 on a jumper by forward Zach Collins with 12:06 left, 43-29 at halftime and 64-48 midway through the second half.I thought they did good, especially the way we started the first half, Few said. Usually when you come out of finals like this, youre a little bit concerned about losing rhythm. We had some pretty good rhythm going into finals. Gave them several days off, I was a little bit worried about that. They responded.South Dakota (9-5) of the Summit League is that last nonconference obsstacle.dddddddddddd The Coyotes are off to their best start since joining Division I for the 2008-09 campaign. They have lost in true road games to Nebraska and Portland, but they were competitive in each.The Coyotes lost 73-61 in Lincoln, Neb., after cutting a 26-4 deficit to two points in the second half. They were defeated 85-82 at Portland last Friday on a last-second 3-point shot.Two days after that setback, South Dakota regrouped to defeat Montana State 80-68 in Bozeman, Mont., scoring 20 unanswered points as part of a 25-3 run. Former Air Force guard Matt Mooney, a sophomore, scored a career-high 28 points and junior guard Trey Dickerson, formerly of Iowa, added a career-high 14 points.The victory snapped a five-game losing streak away from South Dakota. The Coyotes are finishing a stretch of three road games in six days.Shout out to our whole squad, Dickerson said. Happy to get on a (winning) streak now. Gonzaga next. Love my squad. Great way to bounce back on the road (rallying to beat Montana State).Mooney (14.7 points a game) leads four Coyotes who are averaging in double digits.Gonzaga will have a decided size advantage with South Dakota starting nobody taller than 6-foot-7. The Bulldogs will counter with 7-1, 300-pound center Przemek Karnowski, who averages 12.2 points and a team-high 6.5 rebounds per game.The Bulldogs also have 6-9 power forward Johnathan Williams (shooting 57.7 percent from the field), Collins, a 7-foot reserve center (leads the WCC by shooting 69.2 percent) and 6-10 reserve power forward Killian Tillie (4.0 rebounds per game).
